Default Help me decide

Ok i will be getting my first car soon and have found a 350z for a 13,000 which is a good price. Only thing is I have also found a Chrysler crossfire limited for 2,000 less. I havent driven the 350z but have the crossfire so my question is what is better for a first car? I really like the look of the 350z but I also love the crossfire. I just cant decide, the crossfire had a lot more power than I thought which is important, but I know the z is a little faster. Help?

You DO realize this is a 350Z forum, correct? Take a guess, just a shot in the dark, as to what the answer might be. Then, go to a Crossfire forum and post the same thing, and repeat the exercise. Then, go buy a Honda. You're 16 - the perfect demographic.

I know it is but I just want a good review from owners, I have looked at the crossfire forum and they all love the crossfire thats why I came here. Just an honest review of both cars. Are their any reliability problems with the z?

Obviously you had not had to hold on when VTEC kicks in!

Why poeple say their more for old poeple? I mean they are not as fast as the 350z but its not all about speed. I would probably get the z its just the high mileage and price.
